2020 Athleticon - Fitness expo by the Rock Dwayne Johnson - Oct - Cancelled

[Primemuscle]

Haha that's his daughter hope she doesn't jump on his steroids tho as prognosis for remaining female doesn't look good.

PS agreed with the rock being way too over-exposed. He is everywhere you look and just as you think he is going away he pops up in another movie. Now these new ventures bet he will be president in ten years...

Well developed proboscises on these two ladies.

[Pray_4_War]

The Rock was mildly amusing when he was on WWF.  As an actor he's kinda meh.

From Robin Chang regarding Athleticon - updates on the event




"By now, you may have heard Athleticon will be the pinnacle event of 2020 in athletics, wellness, and sports entertainment.

With multi-dimensional partners like Endeavour/WME, the global leaders in entertainment, sports, fashion, who manages the biggest names in these industries, we’ll be witnessing something unlike anything we’ve seen. Starting with our IFBB Pro League mega competition and the first-ever NPC Worldwide International Championship. There will also be movie screenings, concerts, partnerships with the likes of UFC, Crossfit, WWE/NXT, Titan Games, and many others.

With the visions of Dany Garcia, Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson, and the support of IFBB Pro League President, Jim Manion, Vice President, Tyler Manion, we will certainly bring you the most electrifying event in athletics, wellness, and sports entertainment!"

[Humble Narcissist]

This. Not to mention overrated. I have no idea how he got so big in Hollywood. He's okay but nothing special. Yet people flock to him like he's God himself.

I know, his acting is awful.

[stuntmovie]

It's interesting to see that WME (Wm Morris Endeavor) is involved.

WME is the huge entertainment conglormoration that recently purchased the UFC for 4.5 BILLION US DOLLARS.

Don't be surprisrd if you see an NPC buyout in the near future.

This WME involvement could possibly turn out to be extremely beneficial fior the NPC/IFBB contenders as an entry into the motion picture business.

There's a damn big selection of future Super-Heros that those agents will be seeing for their very first time.

Athleticon Update with the NPC and IFBB

 NPC Worldwide , what a BS !.

[The Scott]

Pass.  Because I remember when contests were neither (s)expos or selfie-centered BS.

For decades now bodybuilding's foundation has been rebuilt on the sand of drugs and G4P. 

Everybody in and out of the bidness knows it and still they (pageant competitors) are lining up to die for us bitches.

Or get fucked like one.

A date has been set for October of this year in Atlanta Georgia for the debut of ATHLETICON

I don't get what this is. Will it be there version of the Olympia weekend? 

[SAMSON123]

I don't get what this is. Will it be there version of the Olympia weekend? 

I too am waiting for the complete explanation of what ATHLETICON will be

Not sure if it is bodybuilding, powerlifting, strongman, endurance events etc or a combination of it in a specialized series of events

Nonetheless if there are upcoming videos, I will keep the board posted

[stuntmovie]

SAM,  The plan is to have panels, speakers, interactive experiences, competitive athletic events and performances and exhibitors that appeal to people of all ages and on all levels of the fitness spectrum.

And of major interest to this GetBig Board is that Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia will invite the very best of the IFBB Pro League at the ICON WORLD CLASSIC in Atlanta, Georgia on October 10 & 11 , 2020 among other numerous sporting events.

And since the terms "CLASSIC" and "THE VERY BEST" are mentioned ... I gotta assume that one or more pro classic events will be held in conjunction with a pro bodybuilding event.

I find it a bit strange that those details are not mentioned this early/late in the game.

And I find it to be of major interest that the William Morris Endeavor Agency (WME) was once mentioned as a major sponsor.

WME is one of the largest, world-wide agencies who represent major personalities within the motion picture industry and sports world ... as well as other forms of entertainment throughout the galaxy!

And it is also interesting to know that the WME conglomerate recently purchased the UFC for 4.5 BILLION US DOLLARS from the Las Vegas, Station Casino owners (two brothers whose last name I always forget to spell correctly).

And more recently the WME agency purchased "On LOCATION" which is somehow involved with sports-casting for a reported figure of $600,000,000. (That purchase price could be inaccurate though).

So it's safe to say that the WME agency is getting deeply involved within businesses related to the sports activity universe

So Dwayne and Dany are both in bed with some big time financial figures as well as the IFBB Pro League.

But it's going be interesting to see what effect this ICON 'Classic' event will have with regards to the present day Olympia Contest as well as the "Arnold".

Will Dwayne and Dany's prize money be limited so that it does not exceed the Oly nor the "A".

Will the ICON be restricted in some capacity so that itv does not 'over-class' the 'Oly' nor the 'A'?

Will the Pro League BB pros or the Classic pros only enter one contest and simply ignore the others?

Or will they go full steam ahead and enter all three ... Then Icon, the Arnold, and the Oly?

And last but not least .... How the hell will the NPC contenders fit into the picture?  Are they even bing considered as possible ICON contenders?

There's big money there ... but will they have some amateur event to earn a pro card for the  next year's ICON?

And does it confuse you ... or does it not ... that the term "Classic" in the contest title ... refers to a bodybuilding event which may not even include a contest for classic competitors!?

I are dum  ... so maybe it's only me who gets confused too easily.

But all in all ... it's going to be interesting to see how this all 'works out'!

And if WME will choose among the many to cast as Super-Heros before this super hero fame fades away?

Thanks for the explanation


I guess we will all be waiting for this to kick off so we can see what their vision of this ATHLETICON really is

[stuntmovie]

OLDTIMER, I personally think that this will be similar to the Arnold and the Oly but with one major advantage ...

That major advantage is the event's association with the William Morris Endeavor Agency ... providing that they continue to be associated with this event .... and ... most of all... if it brings to some WME agent's attention the female participants who 'out-glamor' 98% of the female actresses who appear in major motion pictures today due to WME assistance  ... As well as the male contenders who are better built with possibly more audience appeal  than today's so-called super-hero-actors (OR NOT).

The WME agency could make one or more or many of these contenders major contenders within the world of major motion pictures.

And only those within the motion picture business know how impossible it is to garner the attention of a major Hollywood agency!

That association should prove to be interesting.

It's OFFICIAL! Announcing the inaugural IFBB Pro League ICON World Classic at @AthleticonATL - part of an unforgettable weekend in the making from @DwayneTheRockJohnson and @DanyGarciaCo - coming to Atlanta this October! Here's what People Magazine said about us:

RON, Is the NPC now an international sanctioning body?

[Ron]

RON, Is the NPC now an international sanctioning body?

Yes, NPC USA is for the United States.  NPC Worldwide are for amateur events outside the US, as the NPC and IFBB Pro League expands worldwide.  This year, expect to have more events than ever.  Looks like the Athleticon will be an event for NPC competitors outside the US to turn pro? Not exactly sure of all the detail yet.  Just like the Olympia has in Vegas.

From what I hear, they want the Athleticon to be like the 'Comic Con San Diego' event for fitness, wellness, bodybuilding, etc

From the Rock on Instagram

It’s OFFICIAL - the first of its kind 👏🏾💪🏾🥃     Our passion venture known as @athleticonatl goes LIVE this OCTOBER in my home city of ATLANTA!
@danygarciaco and myself will bring the very best of Athletics. Wellness. Entertainment. All over the course of an EPIC WEEKEND at the GEORGIA WORLD CONGRESS CENTER. I never use the term “Chasing Greatness” lightly, so join us for #ATHLETICON in October and we’ll chase and achieve it - together.

[stuntmovie]

RON,

Thanks! I had heard that the NPC was going to expand worldwide but did not know if that was a reality or not.

I assume that NPC International contests within the USA will be contested exclusively within the Olympia, the Arnold, and the Athleticon  ... or am I mistaken?

Has the NPC promoted any NPC event outside of the USA as of yet?

Only possible in English speaking countries , do you think that Hungarians or Mongols would call local bodybuilding organization NPC !.

[The Scott]

Patheti-Con is more like it.  Of course some here will have to actually think about that before they begin to fathom the meaning.  Some.  Not all.   

Oh...And fuck the Rock.  I could give a Hershey squirt about that turdling.

[Ron]

Why not? NPC is not 'American' body building. it stands for National Physique Committee.  And yes, of course it it wise to build it up in all of the countries worldwide.

[Tapeworm]

Is anyone, anywhere, ever going to undertake a frank and publicly open discussion of steroid use, doses, protocols, risks, and potential for legalization and associated pharmaceutical purity?

Someone should find the balls to do it. Otherwise hold these events in Disneyland where everyone can play make believe. Rock's entire career is predicated on steroid use, and plenty of other guys too. Clearly. Which is fine but go on record for what you believe.

If you're an adult and not a retard then you should be the one who decides what you take and what you don't, but my opinion isn't worth shit. A large group of famous people unanimously making that statement would start a worthwhile national discussion. If you want to do something at your event that sets you apart, do that.

[tres_taco_combo]

brutal getbig thread - the comments haha 

its right after the Mr. 0 (SEPT 20ish) and Athleticon is (OCT 10) so they will big time pros who are "stage ready" post Mr O and also draw guys who didnt make the Mr 0 either (tier two pros)

I am still trying out info on the Arnold Classic Brazil.... Ron answer my PM's! for realz - thank you

[Marty Champions]

I read it as athleticoin a much better idea

[Ron]

The IFBB Icon World Classic contest at Athleticon is an Invite Only Event.  Just like the Arnold USA is.
